Hello readers! I am looking for ARC readers for The Oracle's Lantern, Book 1 of the Dutch Pascal Mysteries, launching on Amazon on November 23!
Blurb: On a granite summit in Maine, FBI analyst Dutch Pascal kneels beside a body arranged with the precision of a forgotten liturgy. The killer calls himself the Oracle. His victims are not merely murdered—they are assigned roles in an ancient design stretching from a destroyed 1613 Jesuit mission to a 19th-century vampire panic. Alongside analyst Sarah Sandhill, Dutch must decipher a pattern that suggests the killer already knows exactly how the FBI will respond.
Meet the Protagonist: Yes, his name is Dutch Pascal. And yes, he thinks it's completely ridiculous. His well-meaning parents literally named him after his birth country (think America Ferrera, but with windmills and stroopwafels). Despite the name, Dutch is an incredibly sharp FBI analyst who is about to face a killer who is playing chess while the Bureau is playing checkers. But Dutch also has a Master's Degree in Comparative Religion, specifically in Ancient Religions and Occultism, so it turns out that for this case, truly, Dutch is Required.
• Genres/Tropes: FBI Procedural, Occult Mystery, Cryptic Lore, Unique Protagonist. • Formats Available: Digital (EPUB / PDF via StoryOrigin) • Review Deadline: Ideally on or around launch week (Nov 23).
